I do not have a software update option under my general settings.  How do I update to ios 4.0 to get free apps???

... and the option to update the software from the iPod using Settings/General is not available on iOS 4 or earlier.
You can get free Apps with iOS 3.x - providing they will run on the version you have. That's dependant upon your model of iPod. So before anything else, which version of iOS do you currently have on your iPod and do you know which model you own?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

  • HT4623 I don't have a update button n the general settings, how can I update my iPad thanks

    Hi there I'm trying to update my apps and it's saying I need ios5 and then I'm trying to up date it but my iPad hasn't got a update soft wear button in the general settings I can't do anything on it until it's up dateD but haven't got a clue what to do please help :)

    If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
    To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • HT4623 I do not have a "software update" button on my IPAD and I am trying to download !OS 5.

    I am trying to update my IPAD to include !OS 5.  I have followed the instructions but I do not have a "software button" under general settings.

    Assuming you have an iOS version below 5 since you don't have the update button. You'll need to connect your iPad to a Computer running iTuines (Can be a Mac or a Pc doesn't matter) and follow the update prompts.
    You'll probably want to back up the iPad before updating though.
